flaming giant hand slammed onto the ground. A series of collapsing sounds erupted. Amidst the shrieks, the Blood-Azure Centipede scrambled out in disarray. Under the tremor of the Blazing Sun Spirit..."Now let me go and we might still be alright, or else all of us will perish!" The Sturgeon Demon roared hysterically.

“That also depends on whether you can last until then.” Shu Jianhua let out a cold snort, his long brush dancing, each stroke of ink shimmering with a menacing glow.

Luo Ping'er shot out several beams of light, intercepting most of the attacks. She then glanced at Wu Xuejiao, who was still shaken, and said, "If you want to survive, join forces and hold on until Zhong Dao-you arrives for reinforcements. Otherwise, we'll all be finished here."

Wu Xuejiao nodded, and behind her, a gigantic demonic figure resembling an empress swung its sword down. In that instant, the three who were fighting together unleashed their literary energy, clashing with the blue giant whale.

In a relatively small area, the battle between four celestial beings raged on. After an incense stick's worth of time, the Sturgeon Demon spat blood and was sent flying backward once more.

It was at this very moment that the azure barrier separating this place shuddered violently.

The scene shimmered and changed color. Before it could react, four powerful Sturgeon Demons broke through the blue barrier outside. There was no doubt that they were all members of Zhong Sturgeons' clan.

"To dare scheme against me, today I must forcefully extract your soul and light the soul lamp!" Zhong Xun wiped the blood from his lips with a ferocious expression.

The situation changed suddenly, but Luo Ping'er and Wu Xinjiao exchanged a glance, then took advantage of the blue light curtain dispersing to slip out from the side. They had teamed up with Zhong Xun to fight Shu Jinghua earlier, but now these Sturgeon Demons had gained the upper hand. They had each obtained what they desired, so there was no point in staying here.

“Kill him!” Zhong Xun’s eyes greedily swept over Luo Ping’er and Wu Xuejiao before he pressed down on his impulse, deciding to first eliminate the most threatening Shu Jinghua and then figure out the rest.

Shu Jing's painting coldly snorted. The stone wall behind him creaked, and after blocking several attacks from the sting demons, he retreated into a deep mountain cave within the stone wall.

One of the Sturgeon demons was pursued closely. In a moment of carelessness, it was swallowed whole by the azure giant whale. After a short while, it was spat out as a white skeleton, meeting the same fate as the Iron Crowned Elder before it.

The remaining several Sturgeon Demons immediately became much more cautious.

Luo Ping'er and Wu Xuejiao returned along the same path, but many monsters still blocked the original passage.

Luo Ping'er and Wu Xuejiao, working together, were able to clear out the monsters at a surprisingly fast pace.

"The scholar's strength has already been repelled by us, the two beauties need not panic." Behind him, Zhongyu and the other three Sturgeon Demons lost track of Scholar Jianhua after him, and had to turn back. Seeing Luo Ping'er and Wu Xuejiao at this time, they naturally thought that they were the most suitable prey.

"You fool, don't think I don't know what you're up to. That show of civility is only temporary. Once we reveal a weakness, the other side will come back with full force. If you don't want us all to go down in flames, you better put those dirty thoughts away." Wu Xuejiao rebuked sharply.

Several of the scaly demons' faces flickered, showing a hint of hesitation. As Luo Ping'er and Wu Xuejiao were leaving, they suddenly felt the number of intercepting monsters lessen. But behind them came a roar, and turning around, they saw even more demons, several times the previous number, rising from the swamp and charging fiercely at the four scaly demons.

"Sure enough, it's a brushwork painting, this incorrigible specter." Wu Xuejiao cursed bitterly, but took the opportunity to retreat, hurrying back the way they came.

Behind them, screams echoed as the several Sturgeon Demons, including Zhong Shu, were continuously drawn into the mouth of the blue giant whale under the cold gaze of Shu Jing's paintings.

As more skeletons were spat out, the azure giant whale's breath grew increasingly ferocious.

"Go back. After I devour a few more people, I'll be able to completely free you from the constraints of Chi Ling." Shu Jinghua gestured with his hand, watching Luo Ping'er and Wu Xuejiao flee. His expression grew colder, and with a flash, he chased after them.

Luo Ping'er fled in panic.

A moment later, he arrived at a grove of black maple trees. The leaves, like the faces of infants, danced in the wind, and cries like those of babies echoed through the air.

"Since you've come, why rush to leave I let you escape several times before, disappearing for a thousand years each time. This time, I finally managed to lure you out using the Thousand Demon Crystal. How could I let you get away again" Shujinghua's voice came from behind Luoping'er.

"It's you, the Qisha phantom!" Luo Ping'er, who had fled all the way to Black Maple Forest, originally had a fair and crystal-clear face, which was now as pale as death.

“Only now do I realize, you are not worthy to contend with me for the inheritance of the Phantom Witch. But with Chi Ling's scheme luring you out, you managed to hold on until now without dying, which shows some skill, but it ends here.” Shu Jin Hua sneered, a cold smile playing on her lips. Her features twisted, revealing her true form: a woman of exquisite beauty, yet with the countenance of a thousand-year-old glacier.

"Your strength is indeed a bit stronger than mine, but without that blue whale around, you might not be able to keep me here." Luo Ping'er's figure flickered, splitting into several phantoms as she moved away.

"It's the Shifting Mirror again. Last time, you used this divine ability to escape. You want to try it again" Shu Jianhua spread his hands, and the black maple forest began to slowly rotate. At the same time, several obsidian mirrors fell from the void, sealing off the space.

"Phantom Killing Mirror Realm! You're quite confident in yourself, to dare use this realm that hasn't been perfected yet." Luo Ping'er's face showed a hint of surprise. "Aren't you afraid of encountering some unforeseen circumstances, where you can't even escape yourself"

"With your current abilities, you can't even accomplish this. First, worry about yourself." Shu Jianhua replied coldly.

The brushstrokes flowed with ease, a gust of wind howled, and the surroundings instantly transformed into an ancient battlefield. The air was thick with the chilling scent of death and bloodshed.

Luo Ping'er's body was surrounded by a swirling halo. In the blink of an eye, both of them simultaneously split into phantoms. These shadows battled fiercely amidst the flickering lights and shadows, making it hard to tell who was winning. However, Luo Ping'er soon began to fall behind.

Whoosh! A shadowy figure flashed past, a dark shadow in its hand streaking towards Luo Ping'er's throat. At this very moment, a pillar of smoke erupted from the ground. The roar of the dragon echoed out. Several shadows of sticks struck one after another.

The powerful stroke of the brush suddenly startled, and behind him a surge of magnetic energy erupted. A giant fist-shaped shadow rose from the black smoke and smashed down with a thunderous blow.

When Shu Jin Hua finally managed to dodge, several beams of light shot towards him, hitting his back.

With a *poof*, Shu Jinghua spat blood and flew out.

"Illusionary Prison Technique, haven't you always been a lone wolf When did you find such a helper who could entrust their life to you" Shu Jin Hua looked at the scene in disbelief. Several times she had plotted against Luo Ping'er and gained a certain advantage, but she never saw Luo Ping'er with any help.

To conceal yourself under her very nose, you would have to preemptively use the Absolute Illusionary Prison to hide yourself. However, entering Luo Ping'er's Absolute Illusionary Prison is like entrusting your life and death to her mercy.
